Hi,
Following a full refurbishment of an house and a new build rear extension we had a brand new heating system installed. Give you an idea of what it is:
I've been many forums over the past week or so and it does seem that my usage is much higher than standard (18Kw-20Kw).
The past week I've also been monitoring evohome and I can see that the UFH once up to heat even in this cold weather spell (-1 degree) it maintains a lovely 19 degrees all through the day with just the odd call every couple of hours for a bit of heat (10% or so) and switches back down to 17 through the night (i can see that it does'nt drop lower than 17.5 through the night using some logging software so no heat demand).
The downstairs zone (non UFH - 9 radiators - approx 14KW - downstairs includes bedroom 5 and ensuite) seems to be running most of the day to maintain a temp of 19.5 degrees. I've witness it "cycling" every 10 minutes or so throughout the day.
This morning, i've changed the D00 setting to 24KW, previously it was set to 37KW and see if that makes any difference.
I also took the following readings if it helps:
Flow temperature is: 75C
Return temperature is: 65C
Should I just wait and monitor our smart meter over the next couple days and see if it as any impact??
I've noticed that the max reading on smart meter shows is 22.84Kw since I've made the change to D00, however it goes down only as low to 6.8Kw.
Any other advice??? Is this to be expected??? Oversized boiler???
Thanks in advance.
Following a full refurbishment of an house and a new build rear extension we had a brand new heating system installed. Give you an idea of what it is:
- Vaillant 637 system boiler
- 300l Water tank
- Wet UFH (floor area 15x4m) in new rear extension (family area, kitchen and dining) - used all day (1 zone). Unknown but calculated by SOLFEX from what I recall seeing by the heating engineer at the time.
- Existing Downstairs, existing upstairs each with own zone (2 zones).
- 5 bedrooms (1 guest so hardly used), 3 bathrooms.
- 17 Aluminium radiators in total 25Kw in output excluding UFH (i don't the KW what this actually is)
- Honeywell Evohome with Y87 wall stats in each zone
